Background: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare variant of Mullerian duct anomalies. The characteristic triad this includes didelphys uterus, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis, recently known as Obstructed Hemivagina Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome. most common presentation abdominal pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, mass secondary to hematocolpos, hematos...

High-producing dairy cows are subfertile; however, the mechanisms responsible for the decreased fertility are unknown. The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that culled dairy cows (4-8 years old) characterised by 'Lo' ovaries (i.e. those with <10 mid-antral follicles) are affected by premature ovarian senescence. Cows in which both ovaries were 'Lo' ovaries represented 5% of t...

background: auto antibodies to zona-pellucida (aza) seem to be important autoantibodies implicated in reproduction, with substantial role in both endocrine and reproductive functions of the human ovary. there are some debates on the relation of aza with infertility, repeated in vitro fertilization (ivf) attempts, and outcome of it. objective: in this study, we assessed the presence of aza in th...

The ovary of neonatal nonhuman primates contains the highest number of immature oocytes, but its cryopreservation has not yet been sufficiently investigated in all life stages. In the current study, we investigated cryodamage after vitrification/warming of neonatal ovaries from a nonhuman primate, the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). A Cryotop was used for cryopreservation of whole ovaries...

The aim of the current study was to analyse the relationship between morphology of gilt’s ovary and the quantity and quality of recovered oocytes suitable for in vitro procedures. Forty ovaries of healthy 7–8 months old gilts from a local slaughterhouse divided into corpora lutea bearing (CL) and noncorpora lutea bearing (non-CL) ovaries were evaluated. Morphometric analysis (weight, length and...
